Accessory Delay Relay
My 2014 Super Duty, the accessory delay relay is starting to acted up. When driving my instrument cluster and heater/AC will cut-out momentarily once in awhile. I guess Ford has known about this problem for years and hasn't done anything to fix this known problem in their Super Duties. My truck is almost out of warranty and I guess to fix the accessory delay relay is to replace the whole instrument cluster with a new one with the same defective part. Of course, the accessory delay relay will never acted up a the dealership because it's totally random. Plus, I don't trust the incompetent people who work at my local dealership to do a good job on tearing out my trucks interior and to get it back together like factory. I'm at a loss.

Ford had this problem for a few years according to what people have written on the the internet. My brother's 2012 and now my 2014 SD have the same problem with the accessory delay relay.

I was always told that it was part of the instrument cluster and not serviceable.

Dealerships, they all suck. Those flat-rate monkeys that work at the dealerships hate warranty work and most of them don't take pride in their work. My brother had one of those crappy 6.4L PoS in a SD, and it was in the shop all the time. So, I'm well rehearses on how dealerships work, and they all suck, haven't found one that I like or trust yet. The main reason why I bought a gasser and not in PoS is because I didn't want the Ford dealership to work on my truck. Ever time my brother got his Power Stroke back from dealerships, it would come back with damage like kicked in A/C condensers, to tears in his seats. It's too hard to find a mechanic that has pride in his work.

It's easy to remove the instrument cluster and have them fix it, and much less expensive.
